Hey guys. I have two boxes (empty) of 2000 Pacific Prism featuring Tony Gwynn on the box. Also each box has a paper insert about ordering 2000 vanguard that also features Tony Gwynn. If any of you guys are interested in one or both let me know. I'm not asking anything in return, just that you are willing to pay shipping. If interested please PM me.

Are these Gwynn cards Hard to Find?

I am in the process of trying to thin down some of my card collection, keeping my Ozzie Smith, Cardinals HOF, and some of HOF collection. Make a little bit of money and make some room. I'm leaning towards using a selling service to list cards on e-bay as I am already thin on time. I don't want to send him junk cards as the service charges more for cards sold under $10. Last night, in going through some cards that I may want to sell, I came across some Gwynn cards and wanted to see if these cards were in demand. I know that the Ozzie Smith versions of these (at least the 4 of these that they make of him) are somewhat hard to find and can bring a decent buck. I'm wondering if the same holds true for Gwynn. I wanted to get the perspective of a Gwynn collector on the demand for these.

I recently picked up a large collection of game-used line-up cards, and among the cards are a few from Gwynn early years including a handful from his rookie season (1982) along with some from 1983 and 1984. Gwynn only played 55 games in his RC season, so there are just a handful of lineup cards in existence from his rookie season. The cards include games where he had his 2nd and 3rd double of his career, the first time he ever batted lead-off and similar very early "milestones." Many of the cards are signed by HOF manager Dick Williams.

For those not familiar, managers for each team are required to fill out a line-up card on which they set the batting order for the game. Cards are done in triplicate, so there is (generally) 1 standard copy and 2 carbon copies. One is kept, one given to the opposing manager, and one given to the umpire.

Please let me know if you might be interested in working out a deal for one or more.
